Description: Prem, who was raised to deeply love and respect his mother, faced a tragic loss when she passed away from cancer. Devastated by her death, he set out to find a partner to whom he could offer the same affection. Unable to find the right person, Prem moved from Hyderabad to Vishakapatnam. There, he encountered Radha, who was being harassed by a gang. Prem bravely fought off the gang and won her over, but their relationship fell apart due to his obsession with TV series. He then pursued Sofie, only to discover she was using him for his wealth. Another relationship ended in heartbreak, leaving him feeling lost and depressed.
Six months later, Prem returned to Hyderabad, where he witnessed a speech by MLA Raja Reddy. Inspired, he decided to “love” Raja Reddy, who, frustrated by Prem’s actions, attempted to have him killed without success. In a dramatic turn, Prem threatened to jump off a building unless Raja Reddy confessed his love. When Raja Reddy arrived, Prem unexpectedly shot him, claiming it was retribution for trying to kill his daughter, Theera.
The story then flashes back to Vishakapatnam, where Prem had earlier contemplated suicide after being left by another girl. Theera intervened, declaring her love to stop him. Prem then went searching for Theera, and they eventually reunited, developing mutual feelings. However, Theera chose to end their relationship to avoid disappointing her father by breaking off her engagement. She revealed she had loved Prem since childhood and vowed to die alongside him if he chose to end his life.
